Iflisalt was a naturally occurring volcanic rock on the planet Siline. It looked like smoky gray quartz and occurred inside crystal veins. It was especially dominant in an area on the planet called the Badlands, where an ecological catastrophe that had caused structural collapses of the crust, had occurred[1] around 234 BBY,[2] with veins leading into the Heart of Siline. Iflisalt was highly useful for the stabilization of combustion chambers for various hypermatter fuels. A female member of the Graf family arrived shortly after the catastrophe and set up the Graf-Siline Industries Consortium to mine the exposed iflisalt and over the year the company developed proprietary technology for the better extraction, processioning and application of the rock and also researched ways to synthesize it.[1] In around 134 BBY,[3] the Consortium was close to finalizing the technologies for the synthesization and improved extraction that would allow to access about 95% of iflisalt, and the Consortium and the Silinese War Council hoped to use it to Silines' advantage during the negotiations with the Galactic Republic.[1]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown
- ↑ The events of The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown take place in 134 BBY per the following reasoning. The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown establishes that Jecki Lon is the Padawan of Sol and Yord Fandar has yet to undertake his Jedi Trials. The novel also states that Lon has been Sol's Padawan for at least two years, as well as that Sol had not taken a Padawan for years after his former Padawan, Verosha Aniseya, left the Jedi Order. From this, at least four years have passed since Aniseya left the Order. "Lost / Found"—the events of which take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes Aniseya left the Order six years before its events, equating to 138 BBY. The episode further states Fandar passed his Jedi Trials two years before its events, meaning he must have passed his Trials in 134 BBY. The novel establishes that the catastrophe at the Badlands occurred a bit more than a hundred years ago, which corresponds to around 234 BBY.
